This is the correct design for the 2.4 L motor (that you will find in Asia).

It is actually much easier on these motors since the tubing to both air intake and intercooler (wonder if they even used one) would be close to the front.

With the 1MZFE, one either has to do a twin turbo design given the placement of the manifolds or a single turbo at the juncture of the two exhaust pipes from their respective manifold that winds up just in front of the main catalytic converter below the vehicle (which is the design I will use). If you just put it on one manifold, you won't be utilizing all of the necessary power of the exhaust flow. The 2AZFE only has one manifold, hence the 4 outlets.

However, I have see at least one design of Tony Leung in a 94 Camry that puts the turbo where the battery is located and that took some really good exhaust piping to make it work.

What I am looking for here and I have a tough time seeing it is to see the actual length of the oil line, both the inlet/outlet. Right now, I am waiting on a company to finish their design and manufacture of a special kind of turbo that does not use oil lines, but rather an internal lubrication system using a special kind of oil that needs to be changed every so often.

This is probably the most PITA part of any turbo design is tapping the oil line.

They mention a Toyota Calidna which this turbo came off, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Caldina, and they basically spliced the turbo off a completely different engine group, 3S-GTE, but also a 4 cylinder design so I can see how they were able to put this turbo on there.

Not bad though.
